I have this rod that has a datum A cylinder and datum B is center drill. I can create the common datum for a runout tolerance but when I create the runout feature it won't let me because they're 2 different feature types. So I created a generic cylinder out of the cone then PC DMIS didn't like that one feature had surface data and the other one didn't. I then created a generic cylinder out of the measured cylinder and then it would let me make my runout FCF feature. Why can't I make the common datum out of 2 different features?
1) Measure CYL_A
2) Measure CON_B
3) create generic points at..
-start of CYL_A
-end of CYL_A
-start of CON_B
-end of CON_B
4) Construct a 3d line (LIN_AB) through the 4 points
5) Create a new alignment (ALI_AB)..
-level through LIN_AB
-make LIN_AB origin
6) While recalling ALI_AB, report the runout of the feature you want evaluated against your current alignment
